Chassis: X103
Serial X103 was the second of three prototypes built using the taller and longer over-slung chassis. It was fitted with a particularly attractive Vanden Plas body. The car was sold new to G.F.A. 'Jock' Manby-Colegrave, who was one of the company founders. X103 moved to the United States in the 1950s and disappeared in a locked storage twenty years later. It eventually resurfaced and was offered in the 2001 Bonhams & Brooks Quail Lodge auction. The car attracted a lot of attention and eventually sold for $145,000, which was triple the low estimate. Now part of a prominent collection, it is seen here during the 2004 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
